Ingredients
- Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets
- Flour (for rolling)
- Medium Eggs
- Coppa Ham (aka Capocollo or Capicola)
- Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Thaw frozen puff pastry per the package instructions. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Unfold and place a thawed sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured, flat surface. Lightly roll the puff pastry dough with a rolling pin to help remove the creases from being folded in the box.
- Cut the sheet of puff pastry dough into four equal-sized squares, brush of any excess flour, and place each square onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place a ramekin in the center of each puff pastry square. Crack an egg into a small dish, whisk it, and add an egg wash to the puff pastry that is exposed around the ramekins (do this by brushing the egg onto the puff pastry with a pastry brush).
- Bake the puff pastry squares with the ramekins on them for 10 minutes, until very lightly browned and puffed up around the ramekins to create a well.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven and remove the ramekins from the puff pastry squares (note: if they stick, gently run a spoon around the edge of the ramekin to loosen it).
- Add a slice of coppa ham and sprinkle of shredded parmesan cheese to each square. Then very carefully pour a cracked egg into each well. Top each egg with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Gently place the tray back into the oven and bake for another 10 minutes (or until the eggs are set to your liking).
- Remove the egg tarts from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
